Gianluca Di Marzio: “Inter Coach Conte Considering Changing Formation To Get The Best Out Of Christian Eriksen”

Italian journalist and transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio discussed Inter midfielder Christian Eriksen and his adaption to coach Antonio Conte’s tactical system in an interview on ‘Speciale Calciomercato l’Originale’, hosted by Italian broadcaster Sky Sports Italia earlier today.

“There is the idea of trying to change the system just to allow Eriksen to get the most out of his game, to move to a 3-4-1-2 formation to give him the opportunity to play in his real role and not as a midfielder with speed and intensity like he has done prior. These are just ideas that Conte is debating and then he’ll see with the club if it’s possible move market ideas to look for players who can play in a 3-4-1-2 formation rather than the 3-5-2 formation.”

Inter signed the 28-year-old Danish midfielder from Premier League side Tottenham in the January transfer window, in a deal worth around €20 million, despite the fact that his contract with the North London club would have expired at the end of this season.

Eriksen has made eight appearances across all competitions so far this season for the Nerazzurri, scoring one goal and providing one assist in that time.

The former Spurs talisman has been criticised by many in Italy since his arrival in January, with some claiming that he is not a good fit for Conte’s tactical system. Others have defended the player, saying that it takes time to adapt, especially considering the language barrier and new culture.

Spanish Media Claim Inter Tracking €50M Rated Athletic Bilbao Goalkeeper Unai Simon

Inter are interested in Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Unai Simon, according to reports in the Spanish media this morning.

The reports detail how the Nerazzurri are considering the 22-year-old Spaniard as the heir to captain Samir Handanovic, who is likely to be replaced as the club’s starting shot stopper for the 2021/22 season. Simon has a €50 million release clause, and Bilbao have no intention to negotiate about the price, settling for the release clause or no deal at all.

Inter, however, will discuss Simon’s economic demands during negotiations with Athletic Bilbao, the report continues. Talks have already started, although they have been slowed down by the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. Real Madrid and Valencia are both interested in the 22-year-old Spaniard, which is why Bilbao want to extend his contract past 2023 and increase his release clause to €70 million.

Simon has made 27 appearances across all competitions so far this season, keeping 12 clean sheets in that time.

Inter Cool Interest In Man Utd Midfielder Paul Pogba

Inter have cooled their interest in Manchester United star Paul Pogba, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Milano based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.

The report details how rivals Juventus are incredibly keen to bring the 2018 World Cup winner back to Turin, with Spanish giants Real Madrid moving away from the player. Los Blancos are unsure about signing Pogba due to both his wages and the high cost of the deal and are considering cheaper alternatives due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.

Inter are also less keen on Pogba now, the report continues, as the Nerazzurri don’t have an immediate plan to sign the player. The 27-year-old French midfielder has made eight appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 610 minutes. In that time, he has only provided two assists, after struggling with multiple ankle injuries all season. His contract expires with the Red Devils at the end of next season.

French Media Report That Barcelona Pull Out Of Race To Sign PSG Kurzawa Amidst Concrete Interest From Inter

Barcelona have decided to pull out from the race to sign French full back Layvin Kurzawa, amidst interest from Inter, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the French newspaper L’Equipe.

The report details how the 27-year-old Frenchman’s contract expires with Paris Saint Germain at the end of the season, and it won’t be renewed, meaning that he is available to sign on a free transfer in the summer. Barcelona were initially interested in him, but the player has changed agents and his entourage want to bring him to England, with Arsenal particularly interested. This has pushed the Blaugrana to focus on other options.

Inter are particularly interested in signing Kurzawa, the report continues, as the club are looking to strengthen their full back department ahead of next season. Coach Antonio Conte’s favourite transfer option is Chelsea’s Marcos Alonso, but he would be a more expensive operation considering that the 27-year-old can be signed on a free transfer.

Inter To Sign Sensi Permanently Whilst Victor Moses Depends On Chelsea Lowering €12M Option

Inter are prepared to sign Italian midfielder Stefano Sensi but are still considering whether to sign Chelsea’s Victor Moses, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Rome based newspaper Corriere dello Sport.

The report details how the Nerazzurri have already returned to Appiano Gentile after 58 days at home. All the squad tested negative for Coronavirus, and coach Antonio Conte is happy to learn that all the injured players, especially Sensi and Moses, have recovered from their various injuries, giving Conte a full-strength squad.

Sensi, despite his repeated injuries this season, will be redeemed by Inter, the report continues. There is a moral commitment to sign the Italian, after the Nerazzurri reached a gentleman’s agreement with Sassuolo, but Conte is already convinced of the player’s value regardless. In regard to Moses, the Nerazzurri would only sign the player permanently should Chelsea lower the price from €12 million, although a new loan deal is also acceptable.

French Media Claim Inter Linked Cavani Could Stay At PSG But Only If They Don’t Sign Icardi

Inter linked forward Edinson Cavani could stay at Paris Saint Germain if they decide not to sign Argentine forward Mauro Icardi, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the French newspaper L’Equipe.

The report details how the 27-year-old Inter owned forward’s future in Paris is unclear. Despite recent reports that the Parisian club are looking to sign Icardi, although with a discount, a new opportunity has arisen. PSG could decide to renew Uruguayan forward Edinson Cavani’s contract, an idea excluded by the player himself until now.

Cavani’s dreams have changed, the report continues, and has been earning more play time since January at the expense of Icardi. The player would be happy to stay in the French capital, giving PSG more options. Renewing the forward’s contract would be significantly cheaper than signing Icardi, considering his €70 million price tag.

The 33-year-old has made 22 appearances across all competitions so far this season, scoring seven goals and providing three assists in that time.

Spanish Media Claim Barcelona Want Inter’s €111M Rated Striker Lautaro Martinez At All Costs

Barcelona are looking to sign Inter striker Lautaro Martinez at any cost, despite the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Spanish newspaper AS.

The report details how the Catalan club have their financial situation under control, due to the Spanish system of Expediente de Regulación Temporal de Empleo or ERTE, which allows the club to temporarily suspend the contracts of their employees or even dismiss them due to a serious emergency, like the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.

Whilst this could pose an issue in the deal for Lautaro, as the Spanish government would closely examine those who use ERTE, the report continues, Barcelona are ready to explain that it has been used elsewhere in the club, but not on the first team, who instead have already reached a separate salary cut agreement.

Barcelona know that using ERTE will incur a higher tax burden from the Spanish government, the report highlights, but the club aren’t worried as there is no intention of making any crazy moves on the transfer market, apart from the deal for Lautaro. The Blaugrana are hoping to offer €60 million plus two players in exchange for the Argentine striker.

Fiorentina’s Federico Chiesa: “No Negotiations Ongoing With Inter & Juventus”

Inter target Federico Chiesa discussed his futures and the many clubs that he has been linked with in an interview in today’s paper edition of the Rome based newspaper Corriere dello Sport.

First, he discussed his father Enrico Chiesa and whether it’s an advantage having Enrico as his agent.

“A lot of people say that having a father who’s done the same job as you is a burden. For me it’s an advantage, a huge advantage. The rigour, the attitude to sacrifice and the education that he and my mother gave me give me incredible strength. My father has never been involved in things on the pitch, but he has always helped me in difficult moments, because he has lived through many as well.”

The Fiorentina talisman suggested that his father wasn’t currently negotiating with any clubs.

“There are no negotiations going on, there’s only Fiorentina. I don’t have an agent, I talk to the team and he’s always by my side. He is my personal assistant! We’ve never considered having an agent. In the future who knows. The rumours that linked me to Totti were fake news, Francesco was the first to clarify it.”

The 22-year-old Italian spoke about the talks he’s had with Fiorentina’s directors and the president Rocco Commisso.

“With the president, with Giuseppe Barone and Pradè in the last year we’ve all talked a lot, the present is the only time I am focused on. I think about everyday work, about immediate objectives, the main one is avoiding relegation. We all hope to return to the game, everything else will come.”

Chiesa touched on how hard he trains and looks to improve and grow as a player.

“My goal is general improvement, not only tactical, I have to complete myself and I am the first to understand it. Sousa, who started me out, but also Pioli, often told me that football is played first and foremost with the head. I, by nature, am inclined not to administer energy, I have a generosity that many times compromises my performances, sometimes I lack a clinical finish in front of goal. I have to improve and still improve, score more regularly, if I want to get closer to my father who scored 138 in Serie A.”

Finally, Chiesa spoke about the many positions that he is able to play.

“I’ve played all the positions. Sousa had me playing in a midfield five. For Piola as an attacking midfielder. Montella deployed me in the front two, for Iachini I’m a right centre forward.”

The 22-year-old Italian forward, who is contracted to the Florence based club until 2022, has made 26 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 2117 minutes. In that time, he has scored seven goals and provided five assists, being one of the Viola’s biggest stars.
